Hail Mary! Olive Penderghast for Best Mod! lulz This is why I love Olive. @The Meat That wasn't even a derail, but at least the guilty have been purged with her mercy! All 4 of mine felt undeserved, but seeing goons cry over it was worth it. Best Mod because she sees through the BS. Hope goons enjoyed the blow back for once.

At least nippy seems to have got banned on his own from something completely unrelated to his problems with that stuff. So hopefully that problem fixed itself there, lol

Also would maybe just have this many categories for player anyways. (7) Player of Year Most Influential Most Powerful Nicest Player Most Controversial Best Support Gov Best Alliance Leader Community Awards could have, also have each section only have 7 options to prevent them from growing out of control as well. Best Community Contributor Best Talk Show Host

For Player Awards, we include any missing names & allow people an additional few days to nominate more. (Might as well do alliances while we're at it) We can also allow people a few days to nominate more options for the Community Category, as GOONS complained on lack of options there. With the missing and added nominations added, a new poll is made where its public who votes for what. So people can debate why they voted that way & people can see its not a bunch of duplicate forum accounts helping some win. I wasn't included in most Categories because GOONS nominated me for all of them first. Whether to take their nomination seriously or not, but not including it; they caused others who would have nominated not to. As it would have been repeat nominations. So current awards are trash for a number of reasons, however those who think they won fair should be comfortable with a fair vote.

So we will do it with a fair vote and all the nominations then? Or you want to stick with the broken one? I think we might as well do it right, where everyone can vote and be included in the nominations. Open Process. Edit: Although doesn't matter if no in-game awards, but I think those who think they won fair should want a fair vote for the awards.

Was thinking it'd be nice to get some good quality alliances with standards together in a bloc, with a supremacy clause. Each Signatory gets 2 representatives who can vote for them in the highest OPSEC Channel votes on behalf of their alliances. Only with unanimous agreement can more alliances be added, so it can be hard finding an alliance who lives up to what all signatories want when any of them can veto a new signatory for any reason from joining. I'm not sure on the other alliances yet, but would be good if they share common interests & put their bloc first; rather than consider it a backup as they joining a bigger power bloc. While there are some alliances I'd want in an optimal bloc, just an idea and alliances interested a bloc which encourages a high level of cooperation among signatories (Like The Citadel from CN 2007); although independent from other major blocs; let me know. Maybe we can work on something. I've made the Kingsglaive Discord Public to Visitors again for the time being at least.. https://discord.gg/bhCMTrr

This is a derail and non-discussion, I was referring to this specific case and not all of these. lol

Suddenly I was snapped out of my disassociation from Orbis, when I heard we were on high alert because it seemed like KETOG planned an attack. BK, Camelot & others went on high alert. I was part of FA Department, but getting nowhere advancing doing their monthly assignments. My assignment that month was find out what other alliances thought of the KETOG attack on Chaos. Epi was of a similar mindset KETOG posed a bigger threat than Chaos, so it wouldn't make sense for BK to assist KETOG against Chaos. Personally I had an embassy with TKR & good relations with CoS & Soup mostly. Second person I asked what they thought about the war was a friend in a Chaos, he just wanted to know why BK didn't attack. Of course gov denied there ever being such a plan and I had no reason to think we'd hit Chaos in that situation. Eventually Pestilence said I was free to leave after me and Elijah got in an exchange; where he was showing Pestilence logs of me calling him a snitch. I left on good terms and even got paid for the 1 week I was Duke of Econ before leaving. I ended up joining Fark & the Sphinx logs came out. It was then Chaos thought they needed to attack then as their only chance & asked if Fark would stay out if they fought BK. Fark's stance was neutrality so far, so I told them yeah. Although I didn't believe NPO would stay out, but they seemed to. When NPO did get involved, everyone spoke of the meta being broken & NPO essentially burned good will with most of the game. In part I named this war Black Out, since it expanded shortly after I left BK & out of the loops. Also Black Out because it will be for most of Orbis. ..to be continued..

Since these rewards are always rigged, seems pointless to make a fuss out of me being dis-included in almost every Category I had the highest chance to win in; so I had no motivation to encourage anyone to vote. Although complaining about them seems pointless, although so do the in-game rewards. Although I don't care if people get them to make themselves feel a little special. /shrugs (Although I have no reason to think these will be less rigged; just as the "micro" awards also dis-included me from most nominations)

See You Space Cowboy

This is rigged if I don't win pretty much all of these, lol.

We are the fearless, those who can't be broken, those who don't worry about whether its expensive when settling business & gladly die with a smile on our face facing overwhelming odds over bowing toward our inferiors or enemies of liberty. We don't get fixated on hitting one enemy repeatedly unless they provoke such a response, however generally deal with wars worth fighting as we see them.

Yeah, you guys have a chronic problem with it. Ever think how it might annoy people when you randomly put them on embargo lists, so every member of goons embargoes them at least once? With many spam embargoing many times? You guys claim to want rules enforced on others, than whine when they get enforced hard on you guys for your blantant attempts to annoy all around you guys.

AK was to good for this world, may their spirit live on!

I get so many from goons, seems like spam when multiple by one person. Don’t really read them at all I get so many.

I got hit by a ton of warn points as well, good to see justice was served elsewhere at least. Lol @Olive Penderghast still best mod.

We never disbanded, but did a Charter.

Chudsey posted in the LAN/GOONS thread already. The forum is so toxic, don't see motivation to encourage Nicholai to post when he doesn't want to make a forum account. Many former members have been posting.

12/31 05:44 pm - Ethereum was embargoed by Soviet Canuckistan. 12/30 05:38 pm - The embargo on Ethereum placed by Soviet Canuckistan has ended. I haven't done one of these reports before, but is it spam embargo when they remove and replace embargoes just to spam notifications?

You're welcome for that.

Love how that November Signature lives on forever, with the many GOONS variations and those who copied it for their own. I don't think other alliances by name belong in a Charter, lol.
